Re: Non-Americans, what do you find puzzling about American culture?

(Anonymous) 2018-05-13 11:46 am (UTC)(link)
So, once upon a time people who had settled in America decided they needed to rise up against the government who was taxing them unfairly and form their own government. It ended up in a revolution, which worked. When the new government formed, they decided it was vitally important that if there was need to rise up again, people had the guns to do it. It has become more entrenched and some people are hugely dogmatic about it. And in a way it's kind of a final check on governmental power. It was there at the very start, with the formation of government and citizen rights. Some people absolutely see it as a founding principle (though a lot of people sort of ignore the well regulated militia part). And some people just really like guns. And enough people who vote or have influence are gun owners, which is why they aren't regulated the way they should be. Some gun owners do believe in more regulation, but not enough or they might believe in one type and not another.
